What's so racist about showing the truth? It's how we, as Americans are, bad and good.
Literally, what is do racist about this video? Especially when the courthouse has been used in movies but since it shows BLM in a bad light it's now bad just because of a lynching? For real?
CMT, y'all just lost a lot of loyal customers and etc.
hey does anybody have any recommendations for accessible dog leash clasps? my little brother has cmt and he can't take the dog out because he can't clip her leash on :( so i'm looking for some slightly more accessible clasps that are fairly easy to use without too much squeezing or pinching involved (he doesn't have much strength in his fingers)
if anyone has any recommendations please let me know!!
“King has been writing a bunch of amazing songs. When it's your kid, it's like, you love everything, but this is next level to me. These are really good songs. So Blake said, ‘Hey, we got to go live now.’ It's so different than writing a song — being able to sing live is a whole 'nother thing.”
“So anyways we were talking about that and Blake has a bar in Tishomingo, where we live in Oklahoma, and he’s like, ‘Hey, I’m getting up to do some acoustic stuff, he should just get up and try to play a couple of his songs.’ So it was really casual. And we texted him, ‘Would you want to do this?’”
“So he hopped up there. I was bawling. It's crazy when you have children, and they learn what their gift is. You see their talent, and you're like, ‘Wow.’ I'm so happy for him that he has that outlet.”

“It was probably the most nerve-wracking music experience I’ve had in 20 years, and I would say for Gwen also. We know he wants to pursue music. He is seventeen years old, and he has already written some incredible music. But the one thing that he hadn’t done was live performing. We kind of felt like Tishomingo would be a safe place to do it and not get that much attention. That’s where we way miscalculated the whole thing. It just takes that one person there with their phone, which is totally fine, by the way, it just got a lot more attention than we thought it would. But, thank God, he did a great job. Nobody walked away thinking anything other than they got to be there the day this kid did his first basic — first live public performance. It was a magical night.”

“This is what Ole Red is all about. To give these new, developing artists a chance to perform and Kingston is a prime example of that. This stage is for him and The Voice contestants and bigger artists too.”

having a rare condition (Charcot-Marie-Tooth, in my case) is seriously so awful. it’s so hard to find peers who understand. i often relate to discussions/etc. related to other similar conditions but it would be inappropriate for me to partake. usually the people i do find with my condition are far older and didn’t experience symptoms until late adulthood (vs me being born in pain) so i can’t particularly relate to them. AND the subtype i have of my rare condition (4C) is rare like wtf 😭 even most doctors have no clue what it is!!
So today on the MSR (Midnight Star Review), I would like to talk about the latest album from Country Music Singer Darius Rucker. The new album is titled "Carolyn's boy" and was released On Friday October 6th, 2023. But before we dive into the new 14 track project. Let's talk about the Country Music Career of Darius Rucker first.
Some of the biggest hits from Darius include songs like "Wagon wheel" which features his buddies from Lady A, "It won't be like this for long", & "Come back song". And a few more hits from Darius include songs also like "Alright", "Don't think I don't think about it", & "If I told you". He was also Hootie from Hootie & The Blowfish. He has scored 3 number ones on my weekly lists MSR (Midnight Star Report) which combines both CMT (Country Music Television), the Billboard Country Music Airplay Charts, & even myself. The list also used to include GAC (Great American Country) until the list officially retired at the end of 2018. But before we dive too far off track, let's jump back into this new CD and show you some of the highlights I hear.
The current single from the CD is titled "Fires don't start themselves", and a former number one from another project as well "Beers and sunshines". Other songs you should check out are "In this together", "Never been over", & "Ol' church hymm" featuring Chapel Hart. Other songs I liked were "Have a good time", "Sure would have loved her", & "Southern comfort". Darius co-wrote 11 out of 14 tracks from the new project, and he had help from John Osborne (Brothers Osborne), & Michael Hardy (Hardy). The stand out tracks in my opinion are "7 days", "3am in Carolina", "Lift me up", & "Stargazing". Here is the rest of the track list up next.
Track list.

And that's a wrap for the track list. And on the MSR (Midnight Star Review), I would give this album a 4.75 out of 5 stars. The biggest question I have with the album is why are we revisiting "Beers and sunshine". But it is a very good album overall and Darius still in my opinion has one of the best voices in Country Music. Thanks for taking the time to read this review. See ya all next time.
